Chapter 222 We all know each other.
News came from home that Imperial Censor He was also in Ganzhou, and this Miss Lin should know about it.
So Yu An asked.
"What jade? I've never heard of it." Er Ya was completely bewildered.
"Are we looking for jade? We don't produce jade here."
Yu An, realizing she had misunderstood, smiled and explained that he hadn't come to find jade, but rather to see the Imperial Censor.
He also explained the official position of Imperial Censor.
Er Ya exclaimed in surprise, "Good heavens, how could such a high-ranking official come here? Even if he did come, it's not like we ordinary folks would ever see him."
Yu An nodded. "You're right."
He thought that Imperial Censor He should be looking for Prince Jing, which explained why he wasn't there.
“Then… Miss Lin, would you like me to fix this earring before returning it to you?” Yu An opened her palm again.
"Thank you very much."
Er Ya chuckled, turned around, and went out the door.
She won't use the side door if there are outsiders present.
Yu An stood there stunned for a moment, put away the earring, and then turned back with the basket.
"That Miss Lin was really interesting. You chased after her just for her pastries?"
Cai Lei looked at the basket; the pastries inside looked quite appealing, all shaped like red flowers.
The level of refinement is comparable to that of those in Beijing; I just wonder how it tastes.
"Don't talk nonsense. I found her things and returned them to her. This is her thank-you gift to me." Yu An put the earrings away.
Holding it close to my body, I suddenly felt that I was being a bit too beastly.
Why can't I get all I can think about is Miss Lin from earlier?
She's still young, but her smile is so beautiful.
She is completely different from the woman whose smile in the capital city has three meanings.
"A thank-you gift, I'll have a taste too." Cai Lei picked one up and took a bite.
"Great, delicious! I didn't expect to find such delicious snacks here."
Cai Lei suddenly looked at Yu An, "But you, when exactly did you find that thing? What was it?"
They were always together, how come he didn't know when they were picking up the things?
“Brother Yu, it’s just a piece of jewelry.” Yu An also picked up a pastry.
"Okay, I'm going to write a letter home later. If you're writing one, you can come with me."
He went to start a fire just now, but the old lady disliked him for being clumsy and kicked him out.
Thinking that the old lady resembled a family member, Cai Lei touched his nose. He wasn't angry about being kicked out, but he did feel quite embarrassed.
He thought starting a fire was a very simple thing.
It turned out to be much more complicated than I expected.
Er Ya wanted to laugh when she got back.
Ye Wan happened to see this and asked, "What good thing happened?"
Er Ya recounted what had just happened, "Mom, this guy is really like a silly goose, but his family seems to be quite wealthy."
He's got money! We can lure him to our shop later and then rip him off.
Ye Wan smiled. "Are you going to the shop now?"
"Yes, of course I'm going. I have to go and keep an eye on things myself. I want to earn lots and lots of money for Mom to spend." Er Ya wants to have lots and lots of money right now.
With money in hand, she no longer felt anxious when going out, and she could buy many things for her family.
"Then I'll be waiting." Ye Wan was specifically training the three girls' individual abilities.
The changes in just two years are quite significant; all three children seem to have undergone a complete transformation.
Er Ya went out.
Ye Wan went to write a reply to Lin Anyuan.
I went out the next day as well.
She went to check on the progress of the winter clothes.
"Madam Ye, the first batch of winter clothes has been sewn. Take a look."
Lingniang brought over the clothes. "Madam Ye, we filled them with washed and dried chicken, duck, and goose feathers as you requested, but will this really work?"
Lingniang felt that this was not a good thing.
We can't stuff it with cotton, and we can't stuff it with wool either.
But there wasn't that much wool.
Ye Wan touched it and said, "You can try washing it in the water."
Another woman standing nearby spoke up, "Madam Ye, we've already tried it. After washing the feathers, we just dusted them with a feather duster and they bounced back up, just like you instructed, one section at a time, so the feathers won't run around."
"Yes, I even tried it on, but I started sweating after just a short while. It would be so warm to wear in winter. Madam Ye is really clever. My father used to get so cold in winter that he couldn't stand it. We didn't have cotton-padded clothes back then, and we never thought of such a clever way to do it."
"Yes, if I had known earlier, my husband wouldn't have suffered from the cold when he was a child."
The women chattered amongst themselves, their words filled with praise for Ye Wan.
They had jobs and could earn money, which not only solved their families' livelihood problems but also raised their status within the family.
Now, Ye Wan is seen as a fairy by these women soldiers.
They would all get anxious if anyone dared to say anything bad about Lady Ye.
What are they talking about? It sounds amazing!
Yu An and Cai Lei, who were out for a stroll, were a little curious.
"It seems to be a winter coat sewn for soldiers. There was no cotton inside, so it was stuffed with something else." Yu An got the gist of it.
Cai Lei frowned. "You didn't stuff it with reeds, did you? Those things aren't warm at all. They can freeze you to death when it's really cold. You can't fool people like this."
"Could it be that these people defeated the imperial army while wearing clothes made of aloe vera?"
Yu An had thought of this.
When Cai Lei saw someone coming, he quickly pulled him aside and said, "Shh, someone's here. Stop talking, or we'll be in big trouble if they arrest us."
"Xiao Rui, stop nagging. I will go when it's my turn."
Old He was moving slowly, and if you looked closely, you would notice that he seemed to have gained weight.
When he arrived in Ganzhou, he thought life would be very difficult.
He was surprised to find it so easy to get along with the food, which was also very healthy. Since coming here, his constipation problem has been cured.
If only this little apprentice weren't so noisy.
“Master, you’ve been here for so long, you’ve clearly been…”
"He Rui, what are you doing here?"
Suddenly someone interrupted He Rui.
He Rui turned around and was surprised. "Senior Brother Yu An, Senior Brother Cai Lei, what are you doing here?"
"Tell me how you got here?" Cai Lei chuckled.
He Rui said, "I came here to travel with my teacher."
Upon seeing this, the two men recognized Imperial Censor He and hurriedly tried to bow, saying, "Yu An/Cai Lei greet you..."
"Ahem." Imperial Censor He hurriedly coughed, interrupting the two of them.
"Grandpa, you've come too. These two people are guests at my house. Do you know them?"
Sanya, dressed in men's clothing, happened to come over and overheard their conversation. She looked left and right.
“So you all know each other, Taoist He. Are these two your disciples as well? I heard your youngest disciple call them senior brothers.”
Ye Wan also came over.
Imperial Censor He said, "I met these two young masters when I was in the capital. They can be considered lay disciples."
Sure enough, one lie requires countless more to cover it up.
